Shadwell Yearlings Popular as Goffs Autumn Yearling Sale Ends

Demand remained strong on the second day of the Goffs Autumn Yearling Sale and Shadwell Estate's Derrinstown Stud continued to sit firmly atop the leading consignor standings. Three of the top four lots on Wednesday and eight of the top 10 lots over the two days were ultimately offered by Derrinstown. Overall, all 26 yearlings offered by the stud sold for a gross of €1,491,000.

Leading the way on the second day of the sale was lot 534, a son of Invincible Spirit (Ire) out of the Arcano (Ire) mare Tamadhor (Ire), who had placed twice at the listed level in England and ran fourth in the G3 Desmond S. From the extended family of G2 Cherry Hinton S. winner Memory (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), herself the dam of group winners Call To Mind (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), Learn By Heart (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and Recorder (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), the Shadwell Estate-bred was knocked down to BBA Ireland/Yulong Investments for €92,000.

The BBA Ireland/Yulong team also shelled out €78,000 for Derrinstown's Lope de Vega (Ire) colt (lot 473), also bred by Shadwell. In the money in three of her four starts, the winning dam Saraha is a daughter of French listed heroine Kareemah (Ire) (Peintre Celebre). Kareemah, in turn, is a half-sister to outstanding Shadwell luminary and G1 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf victress Lahudood (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}). One of Lahudood's daughters, the listed winner Aghareed (Kingmambo), is the dam of undefeated, budding superstar Baaeed (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), who won the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. on QIPCO British Champions Day last month after taking the G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp earlier in the year.

Rounding out the Derrinstown-consigned and Shadwell Estate-bred trio was a filly by Awtaad (Ire) out of Zaakhir (Ire) (lot 592) who caught the eye of Joe Foley at €78,000. Out of a winning Raven's Pass half-sister to G3 Ballycorus S. winner Convergence (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}), the brown filly is from the same family as Group 1 winners Matterhorn (Ire) (Raven's Pass) and Ribchester (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}).

Interrupting the Shadwell domination was lot 653, a filly by reverse shuttle stallion Starspangledbanner (Aus), who was purchased by Kevin Ross Bloodstock for €80,000. Bred by Kevin J. Molloy, consigned by Ballybin Stud and produced by the unraced Callisto Star (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), the May foal is a sister to the placed Rhea Moon (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}). Her second dam, the three-time winner Livia Galilei (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is a full-sister to Eye of the Storm (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and a half to dual Group 3 winner Satchem (Ire) (Inchinor {GB}), and the stakes-winning and group-placed Mohican Heights (Ire) (Australia {GB}).

After the final horse in the ring, 237 yearlings were offered and 218 sold (92%) for a gross of €2,928,900. The average and median both enjoyed sizable increases at €13,435 (+120%) and €10,000 (+100%), respectively. The statistics for the two-day sale as a whole were similarly bullish, with 92%, or 431 yearlings finding new homes from 471 offered. Overall the aggregate totaled €6,080,400, with an average of €14,108 (+119%) and the median was €9,000 (+105%).

Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said, “The 2021 yearling sales season has certainly rebounded in some style as highlighted by the massive gains recorded at our Orby and Sportsman's Sales a few weeks ago. However I don't think anyone could have predicted the strength, buoyancy and gains of the last two days.

Of course, the highlight has been the one-off draft from Derrinstown which accounted for 24% of takings and we feel privileged to have handled these classy yearlings from the estate of the late Sheikh Hamdan who was such a wonderful and respected supporter of our sales. His consignment would have graced any catalogue and naturally dominated the leader board with eight of the Top 10 prices.

However even without the Derrinstown stars the Autumn Sale has been a cracker with a stunning 92% clearance rate and statistics that comfortably surpassed all recent renewals of this sale to underline the vibrancy of the Goffs yearling season. Take them away and the two days still enjoyed a 76% rise in average and a 320% leap in turnover to clearly illustrate the strength throughout.

The demand we enjoyed has been driven by a truly international buying bench with a flood of overseas buyers headed by a 50 plus strong group from Eastern Europe and significant parties from Scandinavia, Germany and Italy taking on spirited bidders from the UK and Ireland, all of whom were attracted to Kildare Paddocks by our passionate Purchaser Attraction Team led by Joey Cullen, working in tandem with our network of international agents and the team at Irish Thoroughbred Marketing; how lucky we are to have the assistance of the latter group as they provide an invaluable and unique service to those who choose to sell in Ireland.

As the sale closes we can reflect on vibrant, strong and extremely positive renewals of all three parts of the Irish National Yearling Sale, each of which graphically made our case for us that Irish breeders can sell, and sell extremely well, to the world at Goffs.”

Corazon’s G3 Prix d’Arenberg Win A Stakes First For Markaz

Syndicate supremo Nick Bradley and George Boughey hooked up to secure the trainer's first pattern-race triumph with Oscula (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}) in last month's G3 Prix Six Perfections at Deauville and the burgeoning axis repeated the dose as their 2-year-old filly Corazon (Ire) (Markaz {Ire}) battled to a career high in Thursday's G3 Prix d'Arenberg over the straight five furlongs at ParisLongchamp. She had earlier registered a July 30 debut fourth tackling five furlongs at Worlverhampton, graduating in an Aug. 10 novice test over the same distance at Lingfield last time, and went postward as a 17-2 chance for this stakes and turf bow. Corazon broke sharply and occupied a front-end berth through the early fractions of this dash. Scrubbed along once headed at halfway, she was under the full weight of Mickael Barzalona's drive when tackling Listed Prix La Fleche victrix and G3 Prix de Cabourg runner-up Dizzy Bizu (Ire) (Caravaggio) passing the furlong marker and would not be denied in the closing stages to edge that rival by a neck in game fashion, becoming the first stakes winner for her second-crop sire (by Dark Angel {Ire}).

“It's great to have another stakes winner for Nick [Bradley], he's the biggest supporter of my yard and so we're very happy,” said trainer George Boughey after claiming a second pattern-race success. “Mickael [Barzalona] is world class and has given her a peach of a ride. I was pretty keen for him to make plenty of use of her, to get her out and get her going. We've been pretty keen to make sure we have the right people on board when we travel to France and Mickael has done us another favour. The race looked a good opportunity and she'd worked like a filly that should be running in stakes races. It might have come one step too soon, but she was equal to it. She's always shown plenty of pace at home and I would imagine she will get six furlongs. Her work has always been pretty good and she's come a long way in a very short space of time. We'll get her home and see how she is, but I haven't really got a concrete plan for her. It wouldn't be a surprise to see her get an entry in the [G2] Flying Childers [at Doncaster next week]. I know that's a quick back-up, but it is a Group 2. She deserves a short break in training and there are lots of races she can go for towards the end of the season.”

Corazon, kin to a yearling filly by Dandy Man (Ire), is the fourth of five foals and leading performer from two scorers produced by a winning daughter of Dissonance (Ire) (Rossini), herself an unraced full-sister to G3 Firth of Clyde S. victrix Golden Legacy (Ire). Golden Legacy, in turn, is the dam of G3 Prix de Meautry runner-up Stake Acclaim (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) and hails from the family of G1 Japanese 2000 Guineas-winning sire Hawaiian Image (Jpn) (Father's Image), G1SW Chilean champion Prince Albert (Arg) (Slewsville), MGSW sire Saritamer (Dancer's Image) and MGSW G1 Cheveley Park S. runner-up Risky (GB) (Risk Me {Fr}).

King Of Change Available on Southern Hemisphere Time

Group 1 winner King of Change (GB) (Farhh {GB}–Salacia {Ire}, by Echo of Light {GB}), who stood his first season at Derrinstown Stud in Ireland this year, will be available for covering duty on Southern Hemisphere time, the stud announced on Thursday.

Standing for €7,000 in 2021, the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. hero  was bred by Rabbah Bloodstock and raced in the silks of Ali Abdulla Saeed. For trainer Richard Hannon, the bay ran second in the 2019 G1 2000 Guineas, and captured the Listed Fortune S. one start prior to his score in the Queen Elizabeth II S. King of Change is a half-brother to MGSW and G1SP Century Dream (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}). His second dam is G3 Prix Fille de l'Air winner Neptune's Bride (Bering {GB}).
